Travel chaos in the Middle East: Marriages for Israel and VAE!
Dubai, Vereinigte Arabische Emirate - Current developments in the Middle East have led to comprehensive changes in international air traffic and travel warnings. According to MDR, the security situation for trips to Israel is very tense, which influences the decision of many tour operators not to offer any trips there. These also extend to other Arab countries, including the United Arab Emirates (VAE). Holidaymakers are urgently asked to refrain from traveling to this region.
The military conflicts between Israel and Iran have also severely affected air traffic. Various airlines have suspended or deleted flights, especially on June 19 and 20, 2025, which also affects Dubai Airport. For example, Lufthansa has temporarily suspended its flights to Tehran and extended the deletion of the flights to Tel Aviv. Other airlines, including Swiss, Austrian and Emirates, are also affected.

The Federal Foreign Office points out that the security situation in the VAE is further tense with the current military conflicts. Travelers are recommended to follow local media carefully and avoid lively places. It is advised to register on the crisis list "Elefand" in order to be informed quickly in an emergency.
Despite the tense security situation, the authorities in the VAE emphasize that the country is one of the safest travel options compared to the region. The domestic stability is high and larger protests or strikes are not to be expected.
